Ming Thein Comparison of MM to Nikon D800E


Agent M10

Recommended Posts

OK, I'll say it. I love my M9 and lenses - but the 800E is one hell of a camera and for all the hype about the amazing non bayer sensor of the MM and the Apo Summicron, the (photo finish) winner for me is the Nikon which can also do it in colour. Discuss

The Nikon does well with a rather modest lens like the Cosina-made Nikkor 45/2.8. I do like the rendering of the latter which reminds me of the Elmar 50 but it is not fair to compare it to the Apo Summicron IMHO. Put a Planar on the 800E instead and we'll se what the M10 would be able to do with a CMOS if any.

As the Old Man from the Age When People Were Reasonable has stated in another thread, the M-monochrom is a cult camera — and I say that in the sense that many of us would not want the 800E because we want an M-type rangefinder camera. My predicament is that I like what I see about the M-Monochrm but wonder how the M10 would be for B&W. See this thread.
